Mail.app supports accessing to Exchange Server through WebDAV OWA

I have been reading many threads from both here and Microsoft in order to get my mail.app work with my Exchange Server via WebDAV and/ or OWA.
My case is that I am fine with Entourage but not mail.app.
Something a few of us may miss is that Mail.app automatically amend the field "Outlook Web Access Server" to something like mail.myserver.com regardless of what you type, as in most cases the correct address is mail.myserver.com/exchange
So I am digging into my ~/Library/Application Support/Mail and try to find where exactly mail.app store the Account Information but I came out with no luck.
Can someone guide me through where is the setting stored because I think forcefully change that "auto change" Outlook Web Access Server address may well fix the problem many of us face.

With 10.5 and Mail 3.0, any luck for this topic?

Mail.app stops synching with Exchange server

It's my second day using Lion at work, and things have been going pretty smooth. That is, except for mail.app. I opened my copy of Exchange on my PC in the office (to set the out-of-office message (if there is one in mail.app I havent found it)) and was surprised to see a bunch of mail waiting for me. I right-clicked on my Inbox in mail.app, chose Synchronize and... nothing. I figured I would close it out and restart it. When I choose Quit, nothing happens. If I go back again Quit is greyed out. There are no apparent dialogue windows or anything open that should stop it. Finally I have to Force Quit the app and restart it. Upon restarting most of the messages appear again in seperate windows as if I hadn't hit sent yet. I close them out and all of my mail is waiting in the Inbox like it should be.
I'm using the Exchange connect feature introducted in Snow Leopard.
This is the requisite "I had no problems with this setup until upgrading to Lion" line.
Is anyone else having this problem? Anyone have a fix?
Thanks!

Is Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Advanced > Automatically synchronize changed mailboxes checked? It shouldn’t...

Mail on iMac not accessing MS Exchange server but both iPhone and iPad access the same account with no problems.

I have been using an iPhone and iPad to access my work emails via our MS Exchange server for a number of years now with no problems at all. I recently replaced my home PC with an iMac (first Mac I have owned) but cannot get it to communicate with the exchange server. I've checked and re-checked the information on the iMac and my iPad - I even deleted the mail account on the iPad and input the details concurrently with setting up on the iMac - but the Mac will not access the exchange server.
I receive the message "The Exchange server "---------------" rejected the password for user "------" Enter you password again or cancel." I am using the correct password. iPad and iPhone are logging on using that password fine. iMac just ends up repeating this message.
Our IT support at work assure me that there is no reason from their end for it not to work, and reasonably point to it working using the iPhone etc.
I'd be extremely grateful if anyone can provide a solution to this basic, but extremely frustrating, little problem.

iPhone and iPad use a different way of accessing the server.
I don't know the exact details, but we are using Zarafa instead of Exchange and have the same problem:
iPhone and the likes can connect to Zarafas z-push interface, which is some identical interface to the native Exchange interface, while the desktop e-mail application tries to interface with the web front end (via http) of the server.
These are completely different setups and it depends on the actual installation of the server to get this going.
So, you will most likely need different access parameters for the desktop - and the web mail feature has to be enabled on the Exchange server.
In my opinion using the web mail interface is just silly. On the other hand, the native protocol has less features comparedto the web front end, so you are somehow stuck with sins of the past.
Good luck!

Windows 8.1 Mail App doesn't sync Exchange account on desktop but does on laptop

I was referred to this forum by another Microsoft engineer, and while I do not believe this is where this problem can be resolved, I'm following his instructions.
I have Windows 8.1 on my desktop PC and an ASUS X205TA laptop. For several months, the three accounts I have under Mail (two Outlook.com accounts and one Microsoft Exchange work account) synced properly on my desktop.
In fact, the Mail app on my desktop worked fine with my Exchange account from the first time I used it under Windows 8 in 2012. The version didn’t seem to matter – whether it was Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Windows 8, or Windows 8.1, the Mail app
connected to my Microsoft Exchange account simply by filling in my email address and password.
Sometime this past summer, however, in the July timeframe, the Mail app stopped synchronizing with my Exchange account. In an effort to repair it, I removed and attempted to reinstall the account. This time, it would not let me load the Exchange account, even
when including additional information (domain, server, user name, et. al.).
This past fall, I purchased the ASUS notebook with Windwows 8.1 installed, and I was able to successfully load my Exchange account in Windows Mail using just my email address and password, as well as the two Outlook.com accounts, and all three accounts synchronize
properly. When I went back to my desktop, however, I noticed that the Liberty email account was listed under my Mail app. Apparently, since my laptop and desktop configurations are registered under the same Microsoft account, when they synchronized, the Liberty
email account which I successfully loaded on my notebook appeared on my desktop system as well.
The Mail app on the desktop, however, still can’t synchronize with my Exchange account so, in effect, I’m back to where I was in July. I would also add that I'm running Microsoft Outlook 2013 on my desktop and laptop and, in both cases, all three of my email
accounts are installed and working properly.
I don’t know if this information gives you insight into what the problem might be, but it’s apparent that there’s something in the configuration of my desktop Windows Mail app that is causing the problem. It’s working just fine on my notebook.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the Mail app multiple times, run the App Troubleshooter, and tried a Clean Boot installation of the Exchange account. None of these fixed the problem.
As I told the other Microsoft engineer, if this were an Exchange problem, I wouldn't be able to connect to my Exchange account in Outlook 2013 on my desktop and my laptop, nor would I be able to connect to my Exchange account using Windows 8.1 Mail
on my laptop.
The problem is specifically with the Windows 8.1 Mail app on my desktop PC, and its sudden inability to sync with my Exchange account after it worked in every iteration of Windows 8 since 2012.
I have posted this issue in this forum as suggested, but my troubleshooting does not point to an Exchange problem, but rather a Windows 8.1 Mail app problem on my desktop PC.
Can you help?

Hello ronontheright,
Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
Please take a look at the following article.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.
Best regards,

Using Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013 - OWA ? Possible?

Using Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013 - OWA ? Possible?
We recently upgraded from Exchange 2010 to Exchange 2013.
The links that used OWA Web parts have completely stopped working and generate the " :( something went wrong contact your help desk" screen for domain Authenticated users other than myself. The links accessed content of a Shared Account of which
I am an owner and can set the necessary permissions using the Outlook 2013 client.
Using the example from the link provided below we were able to provide calendar access to all authenticated users in our area. The link for calendar still works for me but for noone else. Additionally, all navigation menus are missing when I use this link.
<server>/owa/<SMTP address>/?cmd=contents&module=calendar&view=weekly name
Another crafted link provided web access to our group's task list. This has completely stopped working for anyone including myself. However, when I use "open another mailbox" I am able to navigate to the needed pages.
<server name>/owa/<SMTP address>/?cmd=contents&module=tasks
These links were crafted using advice provided from this provided link.
technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199(v=exchg.141).aspx
Is it still possible to use Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013 - OWA?
Or
Is this a misconfiguration of some sort?
My IT support has given up and closed out the ticket stating that maybe Microsoft will fix this someday...

Hello,
At present, there is no official article to verify whether we can use Outlook Web App Web Parts in Exchange Server 2013. In exchange online, the Outlook Web App Parts is supported.

Hi, you said this feature is supported in Exchange Online (I understand you're referring to Office 365). Can you please point me to some documentation as I was trying to use it with my E3 account and it doesn't seem to work?
What I'm trying to acomplish is something similar to our old URL (Exchange 2010) in Office 365:
https://ourserver.mydomain.com/owa/[email protected]/?cmd=contents&module=calendar&view=monthly
The best I can do in Office 365 is this:
https://outlook.com/owa/mydomain.com/[email protected]/#path=/calendar
But it's clearly not the same and Office 365 ignores all the information I add to the URL. I would greatly appreciate something in the line of the document referred by 'MarquetteENG' (technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb232199(v=exchg.141).aspx)
Thanks.

How to send mail in PL/SQL using exchange server details.

Hi Experts,
Business user has provided us the exchange server details to send mails.How can I send mails thru PL/SQL using exchange server details.

user595740 wrote:

Oracle supports the standard application protocol SMTP - it does not support a proprietary protocol like that used by Exchange that only works on the Windows operating system. It however provides you with the flexibility to code this yourself.
If you for example use Microsoft MAPI (Mail Application Programming Interface), you can integrate it with PL/SQL using the external procedure (extproc) feature of Oracle.
In a nutshell, extproc enables you to create PL/SQL wrappers for public DLL calls. I posted sample code that demonstrates this in {message:id=2271919}. The sample code is for calling a DLL interface on HP-UX, but the concept is identical on Windows.

Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP?

Can I setup Mail app to access Yahoo mail via IMAP? I think that my iPhone is doing this, but what about the Apple Mail app on my Mac? I don't like the fact that the Mac downloads the e-mail messages and removes them from the server, therefore making them inaccessible from Yahoo's online mail or my iPhone.
I'd like to get to work just like my Mobile Me e-mail... Any thoughts?

There is an option in the 'Advanced' section of the account setup to delete the messages from the server after a specified period rather than immediately on download; you could leave them for a week or whatever, then they will still be there when the iPhone accesses them.

Does mail.app support exchange 2010 contact pictures

Hello,
I am using mail.app ver 6.2 on Mountain lion 10.8.2 and connecting for email to my corporate Exchange Server 2010. I can see the GAL entries and send/recieve email fine, but in my company we heavily utilise employee photos (i believe its via the AD attribute thumbnailphotos) and that does not appear to be syncing or working on mail.app or contacts.app. I spent ages on google trying to work out wether this is an unsupported feature of something isnt working right on my setup? I am begining to think Exchnage 2010 is not fully supported yet as IOS seems to have the same issue when adding users from the GAL to contacts they dont appear in the sync'd contact on the iphone either.
thanks

How to access unread mails of all users in Exchange server without having Passwords and without giving mailbox access to other user.

Hi all,
I am using Exchange server 2013, my task is to create
Service , that
need's to monitor continuously for new mails of all Mailboxes in
my server. if any user got new mail i need to get that Mail Subject, Mail Body, Sender Email Address [From emailId] .
Limitation
: I don't have Passwords of mailboxes , so i gave all mailbox access permission to one user , then i completed this service using below code.
But now, Client
not willing to give Mailbox Permissions to one user because of security problems.
How can i do this without passwords and without giving permissions to other user ?
i don't want all mailbox access , i just need only
access Mail Subject , Body and Sender mail address .
How can i achieve
this ?
Process i follow
=> I created new user in server , and then i gave full permissions of all Mailboxes to newly created user[ex: james] in database level.
i use below command for giving permissions in database level.
Get-MailboxDatabase -Identity <Database Name> | Add-ADPermission -User <User> -AccessRights GenericAll
=> using below code i am searching unread mails of all user Mailboxes and then getting Subject, body and Sender Email address . here i am have list of users,
ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013);
service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("[email protected]", "password");
service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]"); foreach (Object obj in usersList) // here i have Mailbox users list in usersList
{ var userMailbox = new Mailbox(obj.user);
var folderId = new FolderId(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, userMailbox);
SearchFilter.IsEqualTo filter1 = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(EmailMessageSchema.IsRead, false);
var itemView = new ItemView(50);
var userItems = service.FindItems(folderId, filter1, itemView);
foreach (var item in userItems)
item.Load();
var senderEmail = ((EmailMessage)item).From;
var subject = item.Subject;
var body = item.Body;

You would need to check that possibilities via WebServices but suggest you to post this in Development forum to get help from programmers....

How to access MS Exchange Server Mail and download attachment using Java ??

Hi guys,
I need to develop a program to access my inbox from MS Exchange Server and also download the attachment using Java language !! Any example code or any site which got tutorial on this ? Thanks !!

Here is a java file that connects to a users exchange account, reads all messages, and writes the attachment to the file system.

Send As, Send on Behalf and Full Access for Exchange server 2010/2013

[This FAQ contains 2 parts]
Testing and watching the behavior of Send As, Send On Behalf and Full Access permission.
Common issue and Troubleshooting on the three permission.
[Testing and Watching]
Based on following blog, I decide to test on my lab:
Full Mailbox Access Rights + Send On Behalf = Send As ?
http://blogs.technet.com/b/ehlro/archive/2012/04/06/full-mailbox-access-rights-send-on-behalf-send-as.aspx
Description on my lab and test:
Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2010
Exchange 2013 + Outlook 2013
Senders: A01, A02, … , A07, A08
Recipient: A09
A01 grand permission to other senders.
Two methods:
a. Use A0x’s credential configure A01’s profile, then send From both A01 and A0x via Outlook. Watching result in A09’s Inbox and Sent Items which has message copy left.
b. Use A0x’s credential configure A0x’s profile, then send From both A01 and A0x via Outlook. Watching result in A09’s Inbox and Sent Items which has message copy left.
Result as following forms:
1. Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2010 / Exchange 2013 + Outlook 2013
Using A0x’s credential configure A01’s mailbox, then send From both A01 and A0x
To A09.
2. Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2010 / Exchange 2013 + Outlook 2013
Using A0x’s credential configure A0x’s mailbox, then send From both A01 and A0x
To A09.
[Common Issue]
1. [Issue]
Exchange 2010 + Outlook 2010. A01 grand A03 Send As permission. However A03 can’t send as A01 to A09 and get NDR:
You can’t send a message on behalf of this user unless you have permission to do so. Please make sure you’re sending on behalf of the correct sender, or request the necessary permission. If the problem continues, please contact your helpdesk.
Details as following pic:
[Troubleshooting]
1) Based on the NDR, it seems a permission issue. Check Send As permission, however the Send As permission configured correctly. Pic as below:
2) ince the Send As permission configured correctly, it seems the permission hasn’t been replicated. Try to restart Microsoft Exchange Information Store service. It works.
Note: The Send As permission isn’t granted until after replication has occurred. Replication times depend on your Exchange and network configuration. To grant the permission immediately, stop and then restart the Microsoft Exchange Information
Store service.
2. [Issue]
Exchange 2013 + Outlook 2013. A01 grand A03 Send As permission. However A03 can’t send as A01 to A09 and get NDR:
Your message did not reach some or all of the intended recipients.
Subject: xxx
Sent: xx/xx/2014 8:20 AM
The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: A09
This message could not be sent. Try sending the message again later, or contact your network administrator. Error is [0x80070005-00000000-00000000].
Details as below:
[Troubleshooting]
1) Also check the Send As permission configuration first.
2) Then try to use A03 send as A01 to A09 via OWA. If OWA works well, it seems and issue on the Outlook client side.
3) This behavior may occur if the OAB in Outlook isn’t updated. Try to download OAB manually.
4) If doesn’t work, please close Outlook and try to delete all the OAB folder on your computer. The path of OAB folder in Win7, Win8 as below:
\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Outlook\Offline Address Books
5) Restart Outlook.
Note: Be aware that you cannot send e-mail messages on behalf of a mailbox if the mailbox is hidden from address list. When sending a message, Exchange requires that e-mail address is resolved in the
From field.
3. [Issue]
Exchange 2010. A01 grant A0x “Send As” or “Send on Behalf” permission. A0x send as/ send on behalf of A01. The message is only copied to the Sent Items folder in A0x’s mailbox (same as the result of my test). Also cannot configure Exchange 2010 so that the
message is copied to the Sent Items folder of both A01 and A0x.
[Troubleshooting]
This issue occurs because Exchange server 2010 was designed to copy message to the Sent Items folder of the sender only. This issue can be solved by installing Exchange 2010 SP2 UR4. More details in the following KB:
Messages that are sent by using the "Send As" and "Send on behalf" permissions are copied only to the Sent Items folder of the sender in an Exchange Server 2010 environment

Nice guide Mavis, I recently explored the same topic. Few things you might want to add is the type of connectivity (Cached vs Online will produce different results) and to expand further on the methods of adding the other mailbox in Outlook (additional mailbox
vs additional account defaults to different methods). Check the screenshot:

Writing client app to connect to Exchange Server 2013 and set OOF for users on vacation

I am coding an C# app that should connect to Exchange Server 2013 on-premise (Servers Location is not in our Company). I`ve got an account (User and Pass) with readonly admin-rights for now and want to read and set OutOfOffice Objects for other users. I
decide to use EWS Managed API over Autodiscovery but I am bit confuse how
I tried to connect with "service.UseDefaultCredentials = true" and read contacts -> this code works:
try
            ExchangeService _service
= new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2013_SP1);
            _service.Credentials
= new WebCredentials("service.exchange",
"1234", "domain");
            _service.TraceEnabled
= true;
            _service.TraceFlags
= TraceFlags.All; _service.UseDefaultCredentials
= true;
            _service.AutodiscoverUrl("[email protected]",
RedirectionUrlValidationCallback);
            foreach
(Contact contact in _service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Contacts,
new ItemView(2)))
var test = contact;
        catch
(Exception exception)
            Console.WriteLine(exception);
After that I tried the same with _service.UseDefaultCredentials = false; got error -> "The Autodiscover service couldn't be located." I am not shure if this "direct log on" is the right way, On msdn I've read about "delegate access"
and "Impersonation" (NTLM and Basic Authentication) I'am a bit confused. Can anybody help me?

hi,
when you set a credential, you don't have to set the UseDefaultCredentials property (it is already updated).
For autodiscover, you should try to set the property EnableScpLookup to True if you are in the Exchange domain or it is known by the current domain.
Autodiscover uses a domain query (through Active Directory) and/or a dns query (this requires a DNS register for autodiscover.domain.net) to determine the access to the autodiscover service URI.
